DON'T UPDATE TO LION!

No issues with Lion here. Works like a charm. I highly recommend it.

Man i think like you Lion system dont work dont flow like snow leopard this systems is not a solid system for a proffesional use like a dj or music producer not work not have the flow like snow ant i dont want rewind a vista o w7 historys this is the same like sheet i think apple is think like the others and now is the time to think diffrent whats going on the systems SL work excellent apple cant do better dont involve with system in general like goverment or money, peopple search better things is time to evolve and make the systems the thinks and the people change to do all better.

my english its no to good sorry but the idea is here

I upgraded my iMac and MBP and the sun came

out, flowers bloomed, champagne flowed from

the fountains, a choir sang, and Republicans

and Democrats became friends.

I upgraded my MacMini and my dog went into

fits, my house started collapsing, a tornado

came down the street, my car wouldn't start

and burst into flames, the earths crust began to

split...................

Seriously. You Obiously didn't install correctly because it hasnt failed me 😮 the options and new features are amazingly efficient!

I'm sorry you are having problems, but you have to remember most people are not having the problems you're having. Therefore it has to be something unique with your setup.

I upgraded my mid 2008 24" iMac, with only one hitch, Safari 5.1 is very slow. As I was advised to do here, I updated Flash and Java, cleared the Safari cache, and reset Safari. So far so good, Safari is responding much better.

I have a 6 year old HP Photosmartt 8150 printer, that's working without a hiccup. I have a 11 year old USB Canon scanner running with VuScan like it was brand new. My 10 year old Sound Sticks w/subwoofer, sound great. My AppleTV connects and works fine. I did lose the ability to use Office 2004, no big deal, for a few bucks I bought Numbers and Pages, I don't miss MS Office at all. I understand Carbonite is preparing an upgrade for their excellent back up service. I also will have to update Carbon Copy Cloner.

On the whole, from my perspective, Lion is a pretty trouble free upgrade. It just works!

Ok, great! Why don't you reset yourself and go

to bed. Lion is just a nuisance: the proof is in the number

of complaints.

Rock a by baby...........

You're not very helpful, you exhibit exactly the attitude you criticize, jackfromontague is not experiencing the issues you are, that gives you some information of value, why be rude to him?

I already said that my faith in Apple had been destroyed by Lion.

That's all folks!

I'm quite capable of recovering by myself, thanks.

Bon Voyage

When something doesn't work, people get irrational, and frustrated. I get that way when my lawn mower won't start, or my weed whacker gives me a fit. I know nothing about small combustion engines. I threw my last weed whacker into the lake. I had to fish it out, because I didn't want to pollute the lake I'm more patient with computers, for some reason.

On the whole Lionis a pretty stable operating system, the next update will solve many of the existing problems. Of course the user has to do a little research to find out if what's bugging their system, can be fixed. I just fiound out that Flip4Mac was causing some of my Safari problems. I had a 2007 build installed, i trashed it, and I'm a happy camper with Safari right now.

These Forums are wonderful, you get help for free, and everyone who posts answers here are really knowledgable, and patient.

My post on 'Is OS X Lion sexist?' got removed. Any chance you have the posts I made in reply in your mail box?

I'd like to reconstruct the thread for historical and I think useful analysis of this fluffy OS.

Thanks if you can help with that...

ps. to this thread:

I am curious as to why this thread still exists when it is also not really providing technical stuff, mainly fluff....

You're not being helpful, either, by continuing to criticize people for being frustrated with Lion. I haven't actually seen you post anything helpful in relation to the various problems various people are reporting.

As I've noted before, I have various problems on all three of the Macs I've upgraded, and my Mac mini, which performed almost flawlessly under Snow Leopard, has been an absolute disaster since the Lion upgrade.

Not everyone is as lucky as you apparently were with the Lion upgrade, so show some respect.

There is an update to Lion that may solve your issues, give it a go!

Cheers John

What are the actual statistics? What percentage of Lion users are actually having no problems? Why are you here if there is nothing wrong with Lion on your Mac? If you will read through this forum, you will see that your experiences are not typical of most of the people here.

The audio and video problems on my Mac mini are worse since the update. So much for that.
